I'm looking for a new grille but I'm not sure what my options are.

I'd like one without the top lip on the bonnet really and I'm considering getting a GRP bonnet with pins so that I don't need external release gap in the grille. So can I get a mk3/4 grille without the top surround on the bonnet or will I have to get a mk1 grille with moustache?

And whilst I'm here, has anyone had any problems with bonnet pins enabling anyone to steal the bonnet? Or is that just me being stupid again..

Thanks in advance.

GRP ones can still have the lip on for the chrome strip..

Yea I knew that, thanks.
I'd rather have the grille all in one piece and I think it looks better when the bonnet doesn't have the chrome strip on it...

the chrome strip screws onto the lip on mk3+ bonnets(metal), that lip is spot wleded on grind the welds out and you got urself a mk1 bonnet,

you can add a mk1 grille keep the mk3 add a moustache etc etc etc...
